AC3 5.1 decoding in VLC 2.1.0

Postby tranle » 08 Jun 2013 04:23

The audio AC3 5.1 in mkv decoding in VLC 2.1.0 (nightly) seem to be broken.
The sound seems to fade in and out from the different speakers.
Is it a known problem ?

The same file sound fine when using vlc 2.0.7

Thanks.

I do not recall which one, I will have to try them all. but it seem to fail decoding for all AC-3 recording not just inside .mkv, I have just tried with .tp (transport stream) recording from a tv show and the sound also fade in and out.

I am using the 'default' output which is mapped to my onboard sound (realtek) of my motherboard.

Using the 'Waveout' output works.

I have this problem too. On every DVD I try. I've tried setting to WaveOut and it still happens.
